US-Israeli attack on Bushehr Meteorological Department on World Meteorological Day leaves casualties
At least one person has been killed in two separate attacks conducted by the United States and the Israeli regime on Bushehr Provincial Meteorological Office in southern Iran.
The head of the Bushehr Airport Meteorological Office, Yousef Sobhani-Nasab, was martyred while on duty when the strikes happened early Monday, Tasnim news agency reported.
It added that the building of Bushehr Bureau of Meteorology, which is located in a non-military area in the central part of the provincial capital of Bushehr, was hit on World Meteorological Day (March 23).
Director General of Bushehr Bureau of Meteorology Payam Mosaedi told Tasnim that the US-Israel attack came as the employees were engaging in providing specialized meteorological services.
He condemned the attacks against the service provider and scientific complex and said, “This move once again exposed the hostile nature of the enemies of the Iranian nation.”
The US and Israel started a fresh round of unlawful military aggression on Iran on February 28, some eight months after they carried out unprovoked attacks on the country.
